 Lazar of Serbia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lazar was born in Prizren in 1329, the son of a minor vlastelin (noble).
Lazar left Prizren in the early 1370s, and devoted himself to the consolidation of his power in the northern Serbian regions around his court in Krusevac.
In the myth, Lazar is portrayed as having been visited by an angel of God on the night before battle, and offered a choice between an earthly or a heavenly kingdom, which choice would result in a victory or defeat, respectively, at the Battle of Kosovo.

Sava’s book was attacked by many and even banned from being sold in church bookstores; however, no one even attempted, let alone succeeded, in denying or contesting anything presented within it.
More recently, nonetheless, the main champion of opposition and resistance toward ecumenism in the Serbian Orthodox Church has been and remains Sveti Knez Lazar [Holy Prince Lazarus], a magazine published by the Diocese of Raska and Prizren for the past twelve years.
Knez Lazar would make such reviews, appeals and protests available on its pages, which greatly contributed to strengthening the resistance to ecumenism in the heart of the Serbian Orthodox Church.

The question of ecumenism and the attitude of the Serbian Orthodox Church toward it, as well as the question of the membership of the S.O.C. in the World Council of Churches, was also a frequent topic of discussion in those years at the Holy Assembly of Bishops.
We were most often the instigator and inspirer of these discussions with our communiqués, as well as articles published in our magazine, Sveti Knez Lazar.
Thus, in carrying out this decision of the Holy Synod in May of 1995, we submitted the following report to the Holy Assembly of Bishops from which, we hope, our personal position toward the WCC and toward ecumenism is clearly understood.

It was here, in 1389, the Serbs just a couple decades removed from their historical heights, their ‘zenith’, where they ruled from the ‘Adriatic to the Aegean’, that the Serbian leader Knez Lazar met the invading Turkish army.
But the legend of Kosovo Polye goes that the cause of their defeat to the Muslim Turks wasn’t that they were defeated militarily, but that Knez Lazar was given a choice, between a kingdom in heaven or one on earth, and as the poems goes, he chose heaven.
And written on this stone are the words of Knez Lazar, spoken on the eve of that fateful battle:

Djuradj I allied with his neighbors Prince Lazar Hrebeljanovic of Serbia, Ban Tvrtko I of Bosnia, Prince Nikola Gorjanski and King Ludovik I of Ungary, to defeat ambitious Herzegovian ruler Nikola Altomanovic (1373).
The Ungarians were supporting Ban Tvrtko because he, as well as Prince (knez) Lazar of Serbia recognized Ungarian rule while Balsa II refused to do so.
In order to help Prince Lazar to defend his state from Turkish invasion, Djuradj II sent his troops with Ban Tvrtko's forces (with whom he had a dispute over Kotor) to meet the Turkish army at Kosovo Polje.
